Description: | Pottery rim sherd with flat flanged rim pointing upwards at about a 30° angle from the body of the vessel. There is a crescentic mark or stamp, just below the rim on the exterior face of the sherd, which may have formed part of a continuous pattern of decoration, running horizontally around the body of the vessel.The core of the sherd has been oxidised to an light brown colour and the surface to a more orangey-brown colour. There are carbonised remains on the exterior surface of the sherd. The fabric looks, from microscopic investigation, to have mica, white feldspar, quartz and slate inclusions, which is typical of the 'Sandy Lane ware' found during the early medieval period in Cornwall. The shape and angle of the rim make it comparable to cooking vessels found on the Bunning's Park excavation discussed in Austin (CAJ No.28, 1989) and illustrated on page 144, Fig.4.3, No.41, which is also sooted externally and dated to the 11th century.
